RE: [Peninsula-Patriots] Fwd: Nearly Three Decades!

Attached is a map of the Piedmont and the Northeast mega regions City Manager John Rowe wishes to be a part of (see video)….

This Transportation bill has nothing to do with fixing roads or raising taxes. The Trojan horse is the power given to regional governments in competing against other global regions. They take our wealth in trying to pursue their utopia, not truly understanding the freedoms (and lives) they're destroying.

These regional government's use our wealth to pursue a global competition. (Listen to the next 1 ½ minutes)

They use social engineering and propaganda on citizens and consensus building, Delphi Technique and peer pressure against our representative's to push an agenda. Representatives that cooperate are given political cover. Those that don't…are replaced. Changing representatives isn't our problem… Reaching out to the one's that empathize with free Americans are, and there are other's that need our help in keeping them in office.

The transfer of Regional power should be the concern and this is the Trojan horse of the Transportation Bill.

You are absolutely right Ted. But it's interesting to note that when Del. Hodges was attempting to justify his vote for HB2313 at our Republican Committee meeting recently, he described the need for transportation improvements if we were to compete with other ports resulting from increased maritime traffic, noting that the Panama Channel had been widened to accommodate larger ships. When I asked if every dime of increased tax money was devoted to only transportation his answer was a resounding YES. I don't believe that for a minute. When I asked him about the money that was found hidden away in the transportation fund when McDonnell took office he confirmed that there was but went immediately to someone else's question before I could ask him where that money went.

Hi, All -- Here's what the "Revenue Enhancers" are sending out touting what a great achievement the VA transportation bill is. (Methinks the lady doth protest too much.) As I recall, only about half of the bill is allocated for enhancing transportation whereas the rest of it is for other pet projects. No real attempt to cut waste and inefficiency in VDOT. Any one else's take on this?
